Notes

The design of the latter three derived from Nicholas Robert's Variae ac Multiformes Florum Species Appressal (Paris, circa 1670) (2) plate 16: an auricula has transposed a double renoncula in the original design. The anemone has been coloured blue, rather than purple. (3) plate 12: the anemone (red) and gentian (purple) wrongly coloured. (4) plate 44
